Hans Christian Oersted

-Currents can
produce magnetism
Andre-Marie Ampere
-Magnetism can
produce currents.
Michael Faraday
-Achieved an electrical current from
a changing magnetic field, know as
electromagnetic induction (1831)
Joseph Henry
-Discovered the property of
inductance in electrical
circuits.
James Clerk Maxwell
-Proposed the alteration of electric
and magnetic fields, generating and
propelling each other in space. He
called this wave, electromagnetic
wave.
Heinrich Hertz
-Designed an experimental set up that
was electrical in nature and able to
generate and detect electromagnetic
waves. This expermental set up or
device is called the Riess Spiral.

James Clerk Maxwell


Scottish mathematician

Joseph Henry
Physicist
Heinrich Hertz
German physicist

Hertz created
electromagnetic waves with
an induction coil and a
Leyden Jar (the original
capacitor) and detected
them with a spark gap
between two brass spheres
using a simple homemade
experimental apparatus. The
gaps were difficult to see, so
he had to conduct his
investigations in a darkened
room.
Electromagnetic Induction
Michael Faraday

electromagnetic Induction is a
current produced because of
voltage production
(electromotive force) due to a
changing magnetic field.

Electromagnetic Waves
In physics, electromagnetic radiation
consists of waves of the
electromagnetic field, which
propagate through space and carry
electromagnetic radiant energy. It
includes radio waves, microwaves,
infrared, light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and
gamma rays. All of these waves form
part of the electromagnetic
spectrum.

Inductance is the tendency of
